Deep Learning for the Russian Language

Abstract

Deep learning is a term used to describe artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI deals with how computers can be used to solve complex problems in the same way that humans do. Such technologies as computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP) are distinguished as the largest AI areas. To imitate human vision and the ability to express meaning and feelings through language, deep learning exploits artificial neural networks that are trained on real life evidence. While most vision-related tasks are solved using common methods nearly irrespective of target domains, NLP methods strongly depend on the properties of a given language. Linguistic diversity complicates deep learning for NLP. This chapter focuses on deep learning applications to processing the Russian language. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2021, corrected publication 2021.
